ALIGNMENT »
Face:
Rob has something of a lone wolf attitude about him. He's strong, independent, and goal-oriented. And although he carries an intensity not necessarily present in everyone, he always comes off as a very real individual, because he is. Fans can get behind him because he's not dissimilar from them. He's a far cry from the gimmick wrestlers of yesteryear, but by the same token, he's also not as bland as they come. He's a passionate, determined, hardworking everyman, and a lot of people respect him for it, just as much as they respect his accolades as a competitor.
------------------------------------------ GIMMICK » Chapman has been in the business for a decade, and over the course of that decade, has evolved from a scrawny garbage wrestler to a battle-hardened, high flyin veteran. He's been through damn near everything. He's bigger, badder, and better than he's ever been. Honest and hard hitting, both on the mic and in the ring, Chapman has become a force, and he knows it. After a record-setting 182 reign a the XWA Intercontinental Champion, Chapman took a break from wrestling to train more wrestlers, and spend some time with his family. He's back now, he's motivated, and he feels he's ready to make that leap to XWA's main event scene and gun for XWA World Heavyweight Championship. ------------------------------------------ ---===[CHARACTER APPEARANCE]===--- ------------------------------------------ PIC BASE » AJ Styles (Scruffy/Beard look) ------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------ ---===[IN WRESTLING]===--- ------------------------------------------ MATCH RECORD (W - L - D) » 68- 44 -2 WRESTLING STYLE » Hybrid
Style Breakdown:
Rob has established a style over the years that is equally focused and adaptable. The majority of his offense focuses on targeting the neck and head of his opponents, since his finishing maneuvers target those areas. Like many wrestlers of the current era, his move-set is a pool of many styles. His strikes are rapid, but stiff, his slams are forceful and directed, his holds and transitions are smooth, and can take to the air when the need arises; he's notable for getting extreme elevation with his signature Moonsault. He's capable of absorbing massive punishment and still come back swinging; a quality attained through many gruelling matches with the likes of Ace Acid, Mark Storey, Minkaro, and Danny Diamond. He's packed on an extra ten pounds or so since his last run, but he's still incredibly agile when he needs to be, and as hard-hitting as ever. As if that weren't enough, Chapman's well-known for having the brains to calculate an effective strategy whilst simultaneously employing it. Rob's various kicks have become a staple of his offensive style, and his signature moves can often come from nowhere, keeping opponents on their toes. He has been altering and expanding upon his arsenal for years, often innovating or adapting moves and variations on the fly that you may only ever see him perform once or twice. However, the tried, tested, and true maneuvers will always remain in his repertoire.
------------------------------------------
ENTRANCE ↓
Spoiler:
The lights strobe intensely as the instrumental version of The Heavy's "Short Change Hero" comes on over the personal announcement system.
Rob makes his way out from behind the curtain in an aggressive manner, stopping on the stage to survey the arena, throwing his hands over his head in an "X" formation as he lets out an empowered roar, before beginning a power walk towards the squared circle.
As he reaches the ring, Chapman hops up onto the apron, casting a glance over each shoulder before vaulting athletically over the top rope to land on his feet, where he just straight onto the second turnbuckle, throwing up his arms again. When the moment is over, Chapman's arms fall back to his sides, and the cunning Canadian begins to nods his head to the music. He begins to remove his entrance gear, dumping it over the top rope to the floor, before getting into a boxing-like stance as the lights return, and his music fades out.
------------------------------------------
FINISHING MOVES ↓ º The Rising Tide » Shining Triangle
º Caesura » Inverted Northern Lights Bomb
------------------------------------------
SIGNATURE MOVES ↓ (Used toward the end of a match, or for really big damage) º BOOM, HEADSHOT! » Running Yakuza Kick to the side of the head of an opponent in a prone position. Rob screams "BOOM" upon connecting with the move (or sometimes, preceding it), to which the crowd usually responds with a chorus of "HEADSHOT"!
º Desist » A Sliding Lariat, usually performed after his trademark spinning wheel kick, "Cease". This combination of moves is generally the indication of momentum swinging into Chapman's favour, either early on, or as part of a comeback.
º Into The Black Sea » A Straightjacket Piledriver, crossing the arms over the opponent's chest, causing them to take the entirety of the drop on their neck. Can also be done with the arms behind the back.
º Moonsault » A high angle back flip landing in a splash atop a prone opponent, usually performed with the opponent in close proximity to the turnbuckle, a-la Cody Rhodes or Essa Rios.
º Phantom Limb » A beefy Lariat, either to an oncoming opponent, or whilst charging, not unlike the Clothesline from Hell. May be done to the front or back of the head.
º Rage » A quick and powerful Snap Powerbomb.
º Starfall » While facing the opponent, Rob executes a Standing Shooting Star Press across the chest or back of a prone opponent.
------------------------------------------
TRADEMARK MOVES ↓ (Signature moves that can come at pretty much any time for moderate to heavy damage) º Acid Reign » A Release Uranage Slam, also known as the Book of Ezekiel. Done partly in tribute to Ace Acid, who performed a regular version of the move as a signature for many years.
º Cease » A strong Spinning Wheel Kick, with all of his body weight behind it. This is usually performed as the beginning of a momentum shift (Although in multi-man matches, that isn't necessarily the case), and is followed exclusively by his signature "Desist" maneuver, a sliding lariat as the opponent sits up.
º Don't Blink » Similar to the Pele Kick, Rob stands with his back to the opponent, then jumps and twists in mid air to strike the opponent in the shoulder or face with his heel. To simplify: It's a standing Whisper In The Wind.
º Ebony Spiral » Rob leaps off of the second rope, landing with his arm around his opponent's neck as he swings around them and plants them with a Diving Tornado DDT
º Fall Of Grace » Springing off of the ropes, Rob turns 180 degrees and kicks the opponent in the head, similar to an Enzuigiri or Gamengiri. Performed by Low Ki who calls it the Tidal Wave.
º Fast Forward » From the ground, Rob executes a quick Spinning Leg Sweep and continues the motion into a Starfish Kip Up to land standing.
º Last Flight » A Release Dragon (Full Nelson) Suplex that usually sees the opponent landing on their face and chest.
º Overdrive » A running Front Flip Leg Drop to the head, neck or chest. Often performed on a face down opponent.
------------------------------------------

--> Clothesline (Doesn't do often since he uses a Lariat as a signature) --> Enzuigiri / Gamenguri --> Gut Kick --> High Elevation Drop Kick --> Mounted Punches/Elbows --> Roundhouse Kicks to the body, legs, or head --> Spinning Back Kick to the midsection --> Standing Leg Drop
º Basic Wrestling Maneuvers:

º Submissions & Rest Holds:
--> Armbars (Crucifix, Standing, Fujiwara) --> Body Scissors (Can be added to other holds or done on its own to weaken the torso.) --> Boston / Half Crab --> Figure 4-Leg Lock --> Full Nelson (Generally to hold an opponent in place for double teaming) --> Hammerlock --> Head Scissors --> Side Headlock --> Single Knee Backbreaker --> Sleeper Hold --> Surfboard

------------------------------------------
º DESPERATION, BIG MATCH MOVES, AND TRIBUTE MOVES ↓:
º Fade-2-Black » Guillotine Choke
º Flying Dagger » Rob executes a Spear out of a quick, close-proximity dash, somersaulting during the opponent's descent to land in a bridged pin. This move is done out of nowhere, with no prior cues. No glorified setup in the corner.
º From Black » Drewcifix, a modification of the Fade-2-Black for extreme circumstances.
º Heathen Chemistry » Inverted Brainbuster
Spoiler:
This was Rob's primary finisher from late 2008 until 2014. He still busts it out once in a blue moon, but has taken to ending matches with the Caesura since debuting in XWA. Not nearly as rare as the Heathen Chemistry II, but still fairly rare.
º Heathen Chemistry II » Backflip into Reverse DDT from Bulldog/Side Headlock / The Wretched
Spoiler:
Rob's ultimate finisher, when the match absolutely must end. Please do not have someone kick out of this move. This move is to Rob what the Burning Hammer is to Kenta Kobashi.
º Longshot » With an opponent in the corner, Rob climbs the adjacent turnbuckle and runs across the top rope to dropkick the opponent with considerable momentum and force. Used many times historically, but less often in recent years. Extremely high risk.
º Rubix » Tribute to Danny Diamond. With the opponent in an Inverted Chancery, Rob twists suddenly, a-la Cross Rhodes / Testdrive / Roll of the Dice, executing a full rotation before dropping the opponent with a stunner.
º T.T.R. (Ticket To Ride / Tribute To Ricky) » Split-Legged Moonsault. Tribute to former partner Ricky Neilson, who called it the N.S.S./Neilson's Spectacular Splash
º Total Eclipse » Super Kick to the back of the head. Desperation move.
º Verse The Sun » Asai DDT; Tribute to Dominik Diveraz. who called it Cortador Tolerancia. May also end in a Lungblower. Can be done in a variety of ways.

Updated.
Mostly cosmetic, in the form of those spoiler tags, so it's less of a slog for information people don't need more than once, but I re-wrote some descriptions. Wrestling style, primarily.
His common moves have also seen an addition, and some removals of moves I don't use anymore and were basically in there as legacy moves from years back, such as the Sharpshooter and Reverse Triangle Choke. I hope it's a bit easier on the eyes now.
Title graphics added, but I'd like to get them into a uniform size.

What? What's that? You retired after losing a match to Skye Sapphire by no-show? Cute.
But seriously, what? The move I added is kinda a Shade Tribute (It's Shade and Hope) so I'm not sure if you were responding to that or not.

^ Glad you approve. It was not easy to replace Motherless Child. I don't think I'll be replacing it again for awhile. Though, if I ever win 'the big one' here, I do have a new theme in mind for him.

Also, not directly-profile-related, but I updated the hell out of Rob's Wiki page last night. It's not totally done, but it's getting there. Still can't figure out how to fix that glitch with the code above and below the image at the top.

Yeah, you can't remove that. I've tried dozens of times on my Wikia but apparently you can't remove it as it shows the contents of your Wikia.
